Self delivery uses Shootbin’s delivery generator as a private export tool. It creates the same originals, delivery sizes, Instagram versions, and optional Export Watermarks that you can send to approvers, but only the project owner can access the result. Use it when you want to inspect a package, keep a local backup, hand over files outside Shootbin, or export approved photos for another workflow.

​
What self delivery does

​
Create your package

1

Open the Deliver page

Open the project and select Deliver in the project navigation. The package always contains approved photos only.
2

Select the outputs

Choose Originals, saved delivery sizes, Instagram proof delivery, or any combination. You must select at least one output.
3

Configure watermarks

For each generated delivery size or Instagram output, optionally enable an Export Watermark and select a preset. Originals cannot receive an Export Watermark.
4

Create the private package

Click Download the package for yourself. No approver is required and no one receives a notification.
5

Wait for the download

Keep the Deliver page open. Shootbin shows progress and automatically reveals the download button when the ZIP is ready.
6

Download once

Download the complete ZIP. After Shootbin finishes sending the full file, it removes the server copy and clears the private package from the project.
This is a one-time download. If the connection stops before the complete ZIP is transferred, Shootbin keeps the package so you can retry. After a complete download, you must generate a new package if you need another copy.

​
Remove a package without downloading

If you no longer need a ready private package, click Remove download package. This deletes the ZIP from Shootbin. It does not change approvals or the project’s review and delivery state. You can create another private package later.

​
Important behavior

  • A private package does not notify or unlock access for approvers.
  • It does not count as delivering the project.
  • You cannot generate another package while one is being prepared or waiting for download.
  • A private package for an already delivered project is not available. Once a project is delivered, a regenerated package can only target its approvers.
  • The Deliver page shows the package’s availability window. The one-time deletion happens sooner if you download it.
